UTAU is a singing voice synthesizer created by Ameya/Ayame and initially released in March 2008. UTAU is shareware and can be downloaded for free for both Windows and Mac OS X systems. It is is similar to VOCALOID, but one of its major differences is that users can freely create new voices to use. One of the most popular voices is Kasane Teto. Relatively difficult to install, UTAU requires having the AppLocale application on your computer to support the Japanese language. In addition, many English translations are available on the Internet.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to check out this small project I have been working on for the past few years.
A nib file is MacOS' interface file, it contains no code, only the way the program looks (buttons, forms, etc)
Because of this, I am unable to insert any new code - as much as I want to - so the program is still riddled with the same bugs we all know and love.
Why distribute this? I hope to grab Ameya's attention with the project, and continue to work on the abandoned UTAU-Synth project.

Features / Changes
• Removes Monthly License Activation
• New interface (English only)
• Updated the Note Properties dropdown (optional)
• The (previously hidden) Channels menu will allow for muting and soloing of individual tracks, without changing their volume manually
I can only assume this feature wasn't made public due to a bug. It appeared to work fine with my normal use, but please use with caution.
• The ability to open a new UST without closing the application
• GenEdit Menu functionality: the genedit dropdown is used to cut, copy and paste plain text within the app. Including note flags, project flags or even values inside the voicebank editor. Quite literally, whatever the file menu can't copy, genedit can.
• I have made an attempt to fix any visual glitches that appear in the genedit, including repainting flickering when scrolling. Unfortunately; results may vary.
• Prefixmap GUI was updated (yeah, I see the 'surffix' typo, it was there from the beginning so I thought I would leave it for kicks ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
• Changed keystrokes can be viewed here.
Troubleshooting / Common Issues
Pressing OK on the Note Property dialogue crashes the application!
Try installing the Original Note Property version. If this does not work, please contact me on Twitter, @_Hairclips
I can only see 'designable.nib' and 'keyedobjects.nib'!
This is a known issue with applications such as iZip that allow you to browse zip files without decompressing them. The top level of the zip (MainMenu.nib) is a technically a directory, applications such as these open that directory automatically. You can solve this issue using your existing software by going 'up'. If you don't know what that entails; please just locate the downloaded zip file (such as 'P01R04-C.zip'), right click it and open with > Archive Utility. This will result in a .nib you can use.
My issue is not listed here! / I need help!
Please contact me on Twitter! @_Hairclips! My DMs are open to the public.
